Kemba Walker returned to action and to the starting lineup Tuesday night. But it was the finish, not the start that put the New York product on display and sent the Madison Square Garden crowd into a frenzy.
Trailing by 10 at halftime the Knicks mounted a second-half comeback. And it was Walker who took over with the sort of performance he’d put on at the Garden since his high school days, connecting on three three-point field goals with the game in the balance, echoing the "Cardiac Kemba" days of long ago.
